What are my rights on a Public Holiday?

A worker other than a casual, is entitled not to work on a public holiday without deduction of ordinary pay. If you agree to work on a public holiday you are entitled to be paid at the rate of double time and a half for all hours worked. If you work on a public holiday, superannuation is payable on the 7.6 hours worked.
